St. Louis Gal

St. Louis Gal - Bessie Smith

Worried in the nighttime

Worried in the day

'Cause another sweetie

Took my man away

Down in St Louis there

I lost my pride and joy

St Louis woman stole the heart

Of my big boy I'm cryin'

St Louis gal just look what you

Done done I said what you done done

St Louis gal you gonna have some

Fun I mean a-lots of fun

I'm always cryin' the blues

Both night and day

Now daddy's gone but you

Will shake in your shoes

Hear what I say 'cause some

Fine mornin' without any warnin'

St Louis gal I'm gonna handle

You I say manhandle you

You'll find yourself in a jam

As sure as anything what am

Down in Missouri there'll come a

Time your life won't be worth a dime

You stole my pal St Louis gal

I'm going a-huntin' do do de do

You know just what I'm gonna

Do you stole my pal St Louis gal
